Datel sues Microsoft for unfair competition
UK-based Datel on Monday filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft because the software giant made it impossible for Xbox 360 gamers to use third-party memory cards for the gaming console, including Datel's Max Memory cards. Microsoft did this using a firmware update, saying it did so over piracy concerns. Marty Glick, who represents Datel in the lawsuit, maintains Microsoft did this for no other reason than to eliminate competition, as Datel's cards offer higher capacity than Microsoft's own.
